# Jensen Huang announces $2B of new Nvidia AI investments in Europe, with stakes in Doctolib, Genesis AI, Pigment and Entalpic

Speaking in Paris on Oct 13, 2026 during a European tour, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said Nvidia will announce $2B of new European AI deals within about a week, on top of about $8B invested in Europe over the past year. He named four French startups in which Nvidia is taking minority stakes (amounts undisclosed): Doctolib, Genesis AI, Pigment and Entalpic. The same tour brought a $250M compute pledge for UK agentic-AI safety research.

## Key facts
- Place and date: Paris, Oct 13, 2026 (Bloomberg, Tech Funding News)
- $2B in new European AI deals to be announced within about a week; about $8B invested in Europe over the past year (nearly $10B total commitment)
- Minority stakes, amounts not disclosed: Doctolib (healthcare platform), Genesis AI (robotics, Paris/Palo Alto), Pigment (business planning software), Entalpic (AI for materials discovery)
- Same tour, London: $250M of compute over five years for UK research on agentic-AI safety and security

## What happened

Huang toured Europe in mid-October 2026. In Paris he put a number on Nvidia's next round of European deals and named four
French startups it is backing. The individual deals were not itemised; check for the promised announcements around Oct 20.

## Why it matters

Nvidia invests in its own customers across the AI stack. A $10B European total makes it one of the largest private backers of
European AI, at a time when the EU pushes "sovereign" AI.
